store away

Keep for later

To store away is to put something in a place for safekeeping or future use: She stored away her winter clothes in the attic.

The phrase often implies setting aside for an extended period, tucking something out of sight rather than keeping it accessible.

Figuratively, you can store away memories or information: He stored away that piece of advice for later.
